    Dec 21 2024
    A half-length Casey Stengel-centric episode as we all get ready for the big holiday with all its joy and peppermint bark. Includes way too much about pinch-hitting during the Truman administration, if that’s your kind of thing.

    Infinite Inning 311: Paradise By the Des Moines Lights
    Dec 14 2024
    We begin with a brief threnody on those who would say ballplayers are overpaid, spanning Babe Ruth to Juan Soto and the arbitrary nature of those ‘plaints. We then head into the darkness for the thwarted careers and prematurely-concluded marriages of two 1930s middle infielders and how they reacted to a very specific, cruel form of tragedy.

    Trigger Warning: This episode contains a discussion of self-harm and attempted suicide. That doesn’t come up until the second act of the show. As always, hide the children! Love, the management.
